US Bombs Yemen for 9th Time, Houthis Attack US Commercial Ship
US Central Command said it launched more missile strikes against the Houthis in Yemen early Wednesday morning, marking the ninth time the US bombed Yemen since January 12.
CENTCOM claimed the strikes targeted “two Houthi anti-ship missiles that were aimed into the Southern Red Sea and were prepared to launch” and that US forces “identified the missiles in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen and determined that they presented an imminent threat.”
The new US bombing campaign has done nothing to deter the Houthis and has only escalated the situation in the region. Later on Wednesday, the Houthis launched an attack on an American-owned commercial vessel.
